The history of the BWF GroupFive generations – more than 120 years
The fusion of two independent wool felt companies in 1962 resulted in the foundation of the “Bayerische Wollfilzfabriken KG Offermann, Zeiler, Schmid & Co. KG Offingen Hof”(BWF). One of the original compa-nies was founded in 1892 by Theodor Wilhelm Schmid and his partners in Hof and the other one four years later in Offingen by the entrepreneurs Silbermann and Lembert. In 1912, Johann Offermann took over the Lembert shares. Until their fusion, both companies had been in the felt production industry.In 1956, BWF succeeded in producing the first extruded plastic “Plexigum” profile. This milestone marks the foundation of BWF Profiles. Expansion of activities into the filter media segment led to the foundation in 1968 of BWF Envirotec, which pioneered filter media production in Europe. In the followingdecades, until the turn of the millennium, BWF successfully managed to set foot in the USA, Italy and China. Installation of further international production facilities in Turkey, India and Austria characterised the past and current decade at BWF Group under the fourth and fifth generation of owner-management.
